What is SelectoGuru.com?

We recommend the best stuff, particularly stuff for minimalist travel. In addition to testing out gear ourselves, we analyse the results reported from all major American and European consumer organisations and read copious press and tech site reviews. We also bring our own heavy dose of realism concerning how these products are actually used.

Who are you?

Nice folks, based out of frequently changing European cities. We released our first article in November 2014 and have continued to write obsessively ever since about whatever it strikes our fancy to research.

How do you know what’s best?

In addition to trying out the products, we review every scrap of information available on them, in many languages, before we make a recommendation. Our meta-analysis includes links to the sources we have found most useful, so you can verify them for yourself.

What do you mean by ‘best’?

The most useful, reliable stuff at the best price. We (usually) don't agree with tech sites' fawning over the most decked-out, crazy cool gadgets; we look for what works best for most people's real-life needs.

Why should I trust you?

We never accept payment from product manufacturers; our revenue is from affiliate networks, especially Amazon. This means we have no motivation to recommend one particular product over another (as long as they're available online, and pretty much everything is). Our goal is to recommend products that will serve you well, so that you'll come back to us as we expand this site to cover more products.

How can I support this research?

If you like what we're doing, just use our links on the day that you're ready to buy. Your prices will be the same and we'll hopefully get a small cut from Amazon or whomever. If you hate us, skip our links; we'll get nothing and have a sad.
